What are the different types of Tires available?

Radial tires are the most common construction in Jeffersontown, although some specialty tires using older technology still exist.

How do I choose the right tires for my vehicle?

The right size, the right type, and the right speed and load rating. All that information is on your current tires and inside the driver's door.

What do the numbers on the sidewall mean?

The series of numbers and letters on your tire indicate the type of tire and the size. You commonly see a P for passengers, although LT for light trucks is also common. The number next to the P is the tire's width in millimeters. The next two numbers are the aspect ratio of the sidewall height to the width. Next, you'll see an R for radial, the construction used to make the tire. Rarely you'll see D for diagonal or B for belted, but these are specialty tires. Next is the rim size in inches. After that is the load rating; the larger the number (up to 125), the more load the tires can take. Finally, the speed rating is T, which is most common with a speed rating of up to 130 mph. Speed rating can vary from A being the lowest to Y being the highest.

How often should I rotate my tires?

Rotating your tires with every oil change is a good practice in La Grange, KY.

When Should I replace my tires?

When you're tire tread is worn or there are signs of damage from driving in Middletown, KY.

What are the signs that I need new tires?

When you have 1/16th of an inch or less on your treads. This can easily be measured using a penny; simply place Abe's head down into the tread. If none of the treads covers his tire, you should look at replacing your tires.

How do I check my tire pressure?

Using a tire pressure gage pressed into the valve stem, the small black tube sticking out of your rim.

What is the difference between run-flat tires and regular tires?

Run-flat tires are engineered to maintain some shape, allowing you to move slowly a short distance.

What are the benefits of tire balancing and alignment?

Balancing your tires and aligning your wheels keep your tires wearing evenly so you have to replace them less often. It also reduces vibrations, prolonging the life of other parts of your car. Balancing your tires and aligning your wheels makes for a quieter drive around Fairborn. Balanced tires and aligned wheels also improve handling and fuel economy. All of these combined to make for a safer driving experience.
